Whatever it was, was able to achieve temperatures hot enough to turn whatever metal it contacted red hot, and according to witnesses, hot enough to melt metal.
It is well known that thermite/mate is able to be used underwater, where it burns with out the aid of surrounding oxygen, as it has its own oxygen supply. This is one of the reasons it is speculated it was one of the incendiaries used at the WTC.
Speculation has revolved around the nano thermite/mate.
NIST has done much research with respect to the nano technology compounds, so they are familiar with this, and it's rather strange they seemed to act as though it is some obscure chemical.
Whatever was used was super hot, and required little to no oxygen.
It is amazing when watching videos of the towers seemingly exploding, and ejecting tons of massive steel components away from the building, while observing the rapidness of their descents, and the squibs that protrude way down below the collapse fronts. 2 huge buildings destroyed with equal manifestations, coming down through the parts of themselves that were built with so much more reinforcement....and to observe the lengths that NIST and others have gone to in trying to obscure reality is even more shocking.
did you miss the point about thermite burning out after a few seconds even if there were tons of It, it would not last more then a few hours, [ame=http://youtu.be/dkODHlDQpeU]National Geographic Science & Conspiracy Part 5 - YouTube[/ame]
No but you seemed to have missed out on a few years worth of discussion on these boards, that this video and the strawman argument it tries to make has been totally ******* answered and debunked long ago!
You once again display a lack of knowledge and display an ignorant lack of up to date information...It ain't sparkler thermite that is being claimed was used you ******* dummy!
The narrator of this videos states "the real evidence of any CD is in the aftermath"
well this is disingenuous of her to say, as we all know the majority of the steel that should have been analyzed was immediately taken away, and made unavailable for inspection and diagnosis. Take away the evidence, then say there was no evidence?
No "detonators or "tell tale signs" she says....Well what the **** do expect to find, if A-
the majority of the steel was hauled away and NOT made available for detailed analysis, and
B-They admitted they didn't even bother to look for any signs of a CD in the first place!
This video is evidence of the slight of hand and deception that took place while saying there was no evidence because there wasn't much to inspect.
However FEMA did mention the eutectic pieces of steel that they admitted left them puzzled.
Two structural steel members with unusual erosion patterns were observed in the WTC debris field. The first appeared to be from WTC 7 and the second from either WTC 1 or WTC 2. Samples were taken from these beams and labeled Sample 1 and Sample 2, respectively. A metallurgic examination was conducted.
Summary for Sample 1
The thinning of the steel occurred by a high-temperture corrosion due to a combination of oxidation and sulfidation.
Heating of the steel into a hot corrosive environment approaching 1,000 °C (1,800 °F) results in the formation of a eutectic mixture of iron, oxygen, and sulfur that liquefied the steel.
The sulfidation attack of steel grain boundaries accelerated the corrosion and erosion of the steel.
No mention of this readily available fact about what FEMA found in your video..
And to equate a child's sparkler with what is alleged to have been found in the WTC dust in nano form!! At least she admitted how ******* hot it burns...4500 deg. F.
And again in this video, they use 100's of lbs. of thermite while avoiding the allegations that a military grade of nano thermate would be the better and most likely compound used ...Not the same shit that is used in children's sparklers!!
This video and the absurd, disingenuous explanations may be sufficient for those of you that don't know, or most likely refuse to admit that there is a military grade of nano thermate that has been used for decades, but for those of us who have looked into this further we know better, and most likely so do the people that put this strawman video together.
Anyone who has been following this should know by now of the allegations that
the compound that has been theorized to have been used does not have to be in 1000's of lbs, or has to be held in place..
.And yes thermite/mate has been used to burn through steel beams..Good God this video and the BS in it has been debunked, and thrown in the garbage bin of discussion because it is based on lies, and is nothing more then a strawman argument, and is just as much bullshit as them declaring that there was "nothing in the debris to indicate a CD was ever found" for the reasons I stated above-- no steel to examine, and no one bothering to look for evidence of a CD, even though the "collapses" had many of the tell tale characteristics of one..
Furthermore, you people are asking someone on a message board what kept the rubble piles burning??
Are you ******* serious?? We all would like to know the answer to that question, and we all depended on NIST or someone to explain this to us, but how can you expect an answer when they denied these molten rubble piles even existed??
This video is but one of a long line of examples of evasiveness and strawman tactics they, and NIST have used to avoid the real issues while ignoring evidence or refusing to even acknowledge other facts that make their theory total ******* BS, and physically impossible.
Why don't you people stop with the non sense and strawman tactics and try to find out and explain how these massive steel structures could fall in on themselves, through the path of MOST resistance, in such short amount of time???
NIST hasn't explained any of this with any scientific clarity, yet you ***** expect us to explain what they were supposed to???
But at least you people have at last admitted to the existence of these peculiar rubble pile fires, and the molten metal they produced, I'll give credit for that and though your guesses are extremely ridiculous,(wood, Gypsum board??) you are at least past being fearful and ignoring them and at least trying to tackle it and think it through, so some progress is being made!!!
But NO....wood and office furnishings are not very likely to continue to burn for 3 months, and be unable to be extinguished even with 1000's of gallons of industrial Pyrocool being applied. But don't feel bad, many other people are just as frustrated if not more about this, as we truly were looking forward to a viable and reasonable explanation to this oddity, but NIST decided to ignore a lot of things.
The fact remains that something was used that assisted the demise of those 1/4 mile vertical humongous hirises, and the WTC 7. There is no doubt about that, and ignoring this fact does not explain it away, or makes it a non issue.
Enhanced Explosive Materials Using Nano-Particulate Metal Fuels
Summary:
Metal fluorocarbon mixtures have been recognized since World War II as highly reactive pyrotechnics. Their use as explosives, however, has, until recently, been limited due to the inherently low reaction rates of the metal particles with the fluorocarbon material. Scientists at Los Alamos National Laboratory have discovered that these slow reaction rates can be greatly enhanced by substituting nano-sized aluminum for the conventional micron-sized metal powders, enabling various applications heretofore not possible with metal fluorocarbon mixtures.
Since metallic fuels have long been used in rocketry and ballistics, there is a great deal of information on the subject that operatives planning the 9/11 attack could draw upon. Additionally, they would be able to take advantage of recent advances in nano-thermite research by some of the same entities that were involved in the official WTC investigations.
Nano-Thermites and NIST: Connections
By reading NIST's responses to questions about the use of aluminothermic incendiaries, one could get the impression that NIST's investigators had never heard of super-thermites or nano-thermites. Their August 2006 FAQ asserts:
Thermite burns slowly relative to explosive materials and can require several minutes in contact with a massive steel section to heat it to a temperature that would result in substantial weakening.
But, as Kevin Ryan points out in his July 2008 article The Top Ten Connections Between NIST and Nano-Thermites, NIST, including its leadership, has been on the forefront of research into advanced aluminothermic mixutures, also described as energetic nanocomposites, metastable intermolecular composites, and superthermites.
The Top Ten Connections Between NIST and Nano-Thermites
Perhaps this explains why NIST's answers to questions about aluminothermic arson seem so transparently disingenuous, and why NIST avoided even mentioning the material in Appendix C of FEMA's Report.
